So I'm putting together a parts list (using pcpartpicker) for my new PC build that I would like opinions on. I built a PC about 6-7 years ago with my moms boyfriend (I am now 22), and do remember it not being so hard, but this will be the first on my own. I have replaced just about everything in my current PC (mobo, memory, cpu, heatsink, multiple gpus..) so I think it will be fairly simple/fun. I've spent quite a few hours resarching and reading reviews on different parts and have finally put a list together I think I could move forward with, but would like others thoughts first.
Here is what I have together so far (On a $1500 budget) -

The only two parts I'm pretty much set on getting are the CPU and (probably) GPU. I would like some opinions on the motherboard, case, memory, psu... basically everything. Are they worth the money? Are there higher quality ones for cheaper? (or same price.) Could I get a cheaper part to put toward another higher quality one? Particularly the mobo and case..
I'm not a hardcore gamer, or hardcore overclocker (although i will be overclocking), but this is my chance to put a PC together that I can hopefully game on, on a high level for a good amount of time. I want a PC I don't have to worry about performance issues 6 months from now. I probably don't notice all the bells and whistles of the components that they have (or lack) so that is why i have come here to see if there might be better options (mind the $1500 budget)
